Leesburg, Florida and Computer Boot Camp

We’re at Holiday Travel Resort in Leesburg, Florida. This is a very large and active park. Nearly 1,000 sites. I’d say the majority are permanent, park models, but there are plenty of RV sites as well. Here’s our site:

They’re on a waterway that we’re told leads to the gulf. We’ll check that out in our Google Earth class tomorrow! Very old Florida feel with the Spanish moss.

When I say ‘active’, I’m not kidding. Take a ride around and you’ll see people playing volleyball, tennis, shuffleboard, and softball. And, our friend Roxie, who scheduled our computer classes here, told us it was difficult to reserve the rooms because of so many activities already on the schedule. And, she made the arrangements last October!

Every seat was taken for our hands-on Computer Boot Camp, and I was very impressed with their eagerness to learn. Even though we chopped the class down to one day – 6 hours, I think it went quite well.

It sure made us think that, if we just found RV parks/Retirement communities with active computer clubs, we could spend all winter going from park to park presenting these classes. We just need someone like Roxie at each park to be our champion!
